In the 1997 NBA playoffs, Mutombo pointed out that Michael Jordan had never dunked on him. Jordan later received a pass from Luc Longley, soared to the basket, and slammed the ball over Mutombo's reaching hand. Jordan waved a finger at the center, mimicking Mutombo's famous antic which the NBA had deemed taunting, and took the technical foul.

Jordan was so competitive the Bulls had a very hard time finding and developing a backup shooting guard. During practice, Jordan took it upon himself to simply destroy and break the spirit of every two they brought in for many years.

It wasn't just the back up shooting guards. He nearly reduced Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant to tears on several occasions and Bill Cartwright wanted to break him in half.
